Product Description In the wake of Ferdinand de Saussure's work, modern linguistics has ignored or marginalized writing in favor of the study of speech. Roy Harris shows that the theory of writing adopted in modern linguistics is deeply flawed. Reversing the orthodox priorities, he argues that writing is a far more powrful mode of linguistic communication than speech ever could be. | ||
